Since I will be running the only workshop in the NCFC this year, I want to make this great. Since two years ago there was a workshop on basic programming in C++, I decided to run a workshop on basic programming in C. It was the first language I used, it is easy to learn and if you know how to work with C, you already know how to work with other languages, like PHP.
The only thing I ask from you is to install Bloodshed Dev-C++ (there is a portable version available as well) so that you can compile the programs.
And be sure to show up this thursday for the workshop.
(P.S.: I will not actually teach you how to make a game in C, not even I can do that. )
